Chapter 212: Heading to the Wei Capital
Knowing Wei Minyan's plan, Yun Zheng and the others waited for her performance.
At dusk, he did not rush to the next town, but set up camp beside a wood.
Although the woods are small and sparse, they are just right for parking cars and tethering horses. There is a stream next to it, reflecting the unfading sunset in the dusk sky.
Lan Xinyue hesitated for a while, but still gathered everyone together after dinner.
"Everyone, be quiet, I have something to tell you!" she used her spiritual power to ensure that everyone could hear clearly.
"Everyone can accept the invitation of my Lan family to help escort this batch of goods, and I, Lan Xinyue, am grateful to everyone from the bottom of my heart. It's just," she said, her voice turned sharp, and she said solemnly: "But if someone wants to use my Lan family, then yours are wrong! My Lan family is just a merchant, and its strength is limited, so it can't shelter you at all." ”
"Earlier, I received news that someone had killed Yu Gongzi of the Shanyang Sect, and now he is hiding in the caravan. Yu Zhenren of the Shanyang Sect has already gotten the news and is on the way here. My Lan family's foundation is in Changling City, and I can't run for a while. So I had to resign myself to fate. Now, I will give you half of the spirit stones that I originally promised. If you want to leave, you can go, and our contract will be terminated. I'll say it here. I will not treat everyone badly if I am willing to advance and retreat with my Lan family, but if the Shanyang faction really makes a move, I can only wait and die, and I can't give you any help. ”
"Okay, I'll do that!" Lan Xinyue said to the old steward on the side: "Send the spirit stone to everyone, whether you leave or stay, listen to it!"
"Yes, Miss!" the old housekeeper on the side took the storage bag handed by Lan Xinyue.
No matter what everyone thought, this spirit stone was accepted. Don't say anything else, at least it's safe to leave the bag! Yun Zheng and the others naturally took it and put it away without any different colors.
It was night, and from time to time I heard the sound of someone going away. Lan Xinyue secretly hated in her heart and cursed secretly.
When we gathered in the early morning, there were actually a third of the people missing. What made Lan Xinyue most angry was that there were seven or eight less people in her own family.
"Go!" she shouted angrily, whipping her horse and running forward with her horse.
Xu Minyan had a dark face and looked at the more than 20 people on the ground who were crying and begging for mercy.
"You still don't tell the truth, I'll be more than that in a moment!" he said viciously. If those people are allowed to run away from their own territory this time, then they will have no place in the hearts of the elders of the Shanyang Sect.
"Keep torturing me until they do it!" he said coldly to the attendants beside him, "If you insist on not saying anything, you will be killed!"
With that, he waved his sleeves away, leaving behind a wolf howling ghost.
Although there were fewer people, they were finally safe along the way, and they could reach Weidu in two days.
The closer she was to Wei Du, the more relaxed Lan Xinyue's mood became, and there was a little more smile on her face.
"After the mountain pass ahead, it's Gyeonggi Province!" Lan Xinyue said to Yun Zheng.
I don't know what fate it is, Lan Xinyue thinks that Yun Zheng is more pleasing to the eye, and often comes to talk to him. This made Luo Yuru, Duanmu Zi and others very depressed. But Guan Yuhan and the others looked at Yun Zheng with frowns, just giggling.
Yun Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to them. Seeing that Wei Du is about to arrive, what should I do next, I don't have any plans yet?
Yun Zheng was absent-minded, Lan Xinyue said ten sentences, and he only responded one or two sentences. Suddenly, Yun Zheng's face changed, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's not good!
As soon as the words fell, countless iron feather arrows with talismans in them shot from the heights of both sides.
Yun Zheng didn't draw his sword, but just tore off Lan Xinyue's cloak, shook it vigorously, and unfolded it to cover the two. With his spirit element, these ordinary armor-piercing arrows couldn't pierce the cloak that Yun Zheng was wielding. Those mid- and low-level talismans exploded one after another, and the smoke and dust that exploded enveloped the entire caravan.
There was a moment of exclamation, angry scolding, and the neighing of horses coming from the smoke.
Then, dozens of people with swords and swords covered with clear cloths rushed in, and slashed at anyone they saw.
Although everyone was reminded by Yun Zheng, they were embarrassed even if they were not injured under the random bombardment of a talisman before. was rushed close by these people, and his heart was unprepared, and he rushed to face the battle.
Yun Zheng and the others are fine, and they must be careful not to show traces when they deal with it. The rest of the people had no time waiting, and in a short time five or six people fell on the spot.
A masked man in green clothes came straight to Lan Xinyue, but before anyone arrived, the sword wind was already whistling. Lan Xinyue's silver teeth clenched and held up a silver shield.
With a "poof", the silver shield was only momentary under the sword light, and its spiritual power collapsed and shattered into three or four pieces. Lan Xinyue snorted, staggered back, and condensed all her spiritual power on the sword in her hand.
The sword light she saw was magnificent, and suddenly it was in front of her, Lan Xinyue shouted and waved her sword to greet her.
"You can't stop it!" Yun Zheng shook his head, and casually swung out a sword ray, splitting the sword rays that came in.
The masked man was taken aback, hurriedly returned to his sword to protect himself, and exclaimed, "Who is Your Excellency?
Yun Zheng smiled faintly: "What kind of nosy thing is this? We received the money!" After that, the magic sword shook, and the sword qi came out three times, and the Dao was fatal.
The man hurriedly swung his sword, but how cultivated Yun Zheng was now, he did it casually, and it was not something he could resist.
He exclaimed in horror, "Aren't you ......?" Before he could finish speaking, the sword swept out diagonally and slashed across his neck.
Lan Xinyue nodded at Yun Zheng to express her gratitude, and went over to tear the man's face towel. was stunned for a moment, then rose angrily, and said angrily: "I knew that there would be no one else besides you!" After that, he kicked the corpse twice.
Seeing that Yun Zheng had made a move, the others also took out some strength to catch all the people who rushed into the team.
Lan Xinyue bit her lip lightly and looked at Yun Zheng with a complicated expression. What seemed like an understatement move before, but it was definitely not something that ordinary Qi cultivators could do!, could it?
She couldn't help but hesitate.
Fortunately, there were no further changes in the rest of the trip, and after sending the goods to the designated place, Yun Zheng and the others received their remuneration and left one by one to find another place to meet.
If such a group of people didn't have a proper thing to do, it would be too eye-catching to appear rashly in a big city like Weidu.
Yun Zheng and the others first rented a large courtyard outside the city and settled down temporarily. On the second day, he took Duanmu Zi into the city first, intending to learn about the situation here.
"Senior brother, why don't we continue to the east, but stay in Weidu!" Duanmu Zi said with some doubts.
Yun Zheng sighed faintly and said, "If I can, I also want to leave early." But now, we are estimated to have entered the supervision of the Shanyang faction and the White Dragon Gang. If you rush on the road like this, it is easy to show traces. This Wei capital is very large, with a population of tens of millions, and when we people come in, we fall into the lake like a drop of water. Besides, this is an imperial city after all, and the Shanyang faction and the White Dragon Gang are not too presumptuous. We'll stay here for a year and a half, and when the two are gone, we'll go!"
"That's it!" Duanmu Zi thought to himself and felt that what Yun Zheng said was quite reasonable. "He is worthy of being the senior brother in charge, he just thinks about it thoroughly. Duanmu Zi smiled slightly and said to Yun Zheng.
"Senior sister, I'm embarrassed that you always praise me like this!" Yun Zheng smiled and walked forward.
If you want to settle down in Weidu, you must always have something serious to do! Yun Zheng's specialty is alchemy, so naturally he still starts from this aspect. Now, it is to find a similar boundary, open a small Dan Pavilion, and set the identity.
The two of them did not go to the prosperous area. It must have been completely carved up by various forces, so where would he and others get involved? What's more, it is better to be a low-key person now, or not to make a public appearance.
A few days later, on the street where the inner city and the eastern city meet, a Dan Pavilion quietly opened. There were no guests or lanterns, but only a few whips, even if it was opened.
Many people didn't care about this Dan Pavilion that appeared on the street. Without fame and reputation, how can business be good? Not to mention that Yun Zheng's price for the pill is not low, almost the same as several big pill pavilions in the city. Even if someone came to inquire, most of them shook their heads and left.
Luo Yuru and Duanmu Zi saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts. The business is bleak, not only do you have to pay the rent every month, but you also have to take care of everyone's cultivation, so it's not a way to sit and eat empty!
After saying it a few times, Yun Zheng just smiled and didn't say anything. Luo Yuru was angry, so she went straight to discuss with others to see if there was any other way.
Yun Zheng actually doesn't mind raising everyone. With his current financial resources, he is providing for it in this way, and it will be provided for ten or eight years.
"Senior brother, we want to go out and practice!" On this day, Guan Yuhan and others made a special trip to say to Yun Zheng.
"Do you have a plan?" Yun Zheng asked lightly.
"This?" they looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I have no objection to going out," Yun Zheng looked at everyone with a smile. It's understandable, after all, they are different from themselves, and it's normal for them to not be able to sit still. "But you have to have a general plan, like where to go, how long to go, who are not reliable, think about it, and if the plan works, then go!"
"Thank you, senior brother, then let's go back and think about it!" Several people thought about it, and also felt that what Yun Zheng said made some sense.
Two days later, except for Luo Yuru, Duanmu Zi and other women, everyone else reported to Yun Zheng and went to all directions.
"Senior brother, why don't you let us go and let them out? It's not fair!" Luo Yuru complained with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha, everyone is gone, who will take care of it here? I can't be alone!" Yun Zheng said with a smile. Duanmu Zishui looked at each other and smiled, "Senior brother, you can't convince us with this reason!"
"That's it, it's good that there are two people here, then we need to all stay!" Luo Yuru glanced at him, "You just look down on our sisters!"
Yun Zheng looked at the five of them, and said sharply one by one, he wanted Yun Zheng to let them go out to practice. I can't help but sigh, these aunts and grandmothers are even more difficult to deal with than those dozen brothers combined!
